let s not give them too much credit here. i think there s no question i hope i m surprised, they re all going to vote for him. they just delayed this, even senator flake, i mean, he was confronted by a number of sexual assault victims and then he sheepishly suggested they extend it for a week. this isn t heroism exactly. i m pretty certain they re all going to vote for him. so this is really kind of a show effort. all right, guys, thank you for coming in. i really appreciate it. let s see when the fbi wraps this up. they ve got three more days now. let s see what happens. outfront next, president trump with this warning tonight. it s a very scary time for young men in america. but are young men really the ones under attack right now? plus, jeanne moos on trump s insult on a female reporter, the explosive reaction from coast to coast.
this. there was no fraud or tax evasion by anyone. the facts upon which the times bases its false allegations are extremely inaccurate. president trump had virtually no involvement whatsoever with these matters. but these matters, which the times details, are stunning. that is why new york state is now investigating and this is renewing calls of course for the president to release his tax returns. i want to go straight to new york times reporter sue craig. she joins me on the phone. she helped break this story along with two of her colleagues. sue, can you hear me? i can. thank you so much for coming on. i mean, you worked on this for a year and a half. what surprised you the most in your investigation, sue? well, i guess what surprised us is first of all, it s the amount of money that the president received from his father. i mean, when you look at sort of what has been written and even if you re skeptical about his claims that he only got
clearance are not going to go back 35 years so i think if they look at the drinking stuff, i don t see that as particularly relevant unless it relates to the assault charges. christine blasey ford s attorneys tonight, they put out a letter and said that the fbi is not reached out to them to interview her for this investigation. and just yesterday, president trump had said that the fbi should interview anybody that they want within reason and also, of course, called for it to be a comprehensive investigation. can you call do you call it a comprehensive investigation by the fbi if they don t talk to blasey ford? well, i don t want to second guess the fbi. they re the experts at doing this and i wouldn t presume to know what s best in conducting an investigation like this. they would know that. i would just ask an honest question, though. is she planning to change her testimony? i mean, she just testified for several hours in front of the senate judiciary committee. is she planning
outfront tonight, breaking news. tax schemes and fraud. that is the allegation tonight in a bombshell report by the new york times that digs deep into the into president trump s finances. the more than a yearlong investigation by the times reveals a lot, including this. president trump participated in dubious tax schemes, they write, during the 1990s, including instances of outright fraud. trump s parents transferred over $1 billion in wealth to their children, which could have produced a tax bill of at least $55 milli $550 million based on tax laws at the time, according to the times, but the trumps, according to the research, paid only $52.2 million, a tiny fraction, about 5%, of what they should have paid to the irs. according to a trove of confidential tax returns and financial records obtain bid the times, the president is not the self-made billionaire that he has repeatedly claimed to be. the alleged fraud, according to the new york times, includes trump receiving a
there should be. requiring presidential candidates to do what all of them have done voluntarily for decades, and which donald trump, as a candidate, said initially that he would do. but there s another law on the books that dates back well into the beginning of the last century that gives the ways and means committee, on which i serve as the tax policy ranking member, to request returns from the treasury department and that s exactly what i ve tried to do on seven times, and that s exactly what the ways and mean committee republicans have blocked. they have covered up those returns. there is so much to be learned from the russian investigation, right up to the changes that were made in the new tax law that i think were directly benefitting the trump family. donald trump s attorney put out a statement and in the statement calls the allegations and the report 100% false and also says that when it comes to
